168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg is still waiting to hear why he ꦡwas overlooked by Ferrari, more ꦫthan a decade ago.

The current Haas driver - who has signed up for the Audi project from next year - missed the oppor✱tunity of a lifetime to drive for Ferrari in 2014.

Instead, Kimi Raikko🙈nen 🐬made a high-profile return to Ferrari to partner Fernando Alonso in an exciting-looking duo.

Among the Ferrari senior figures who opted to bring Raikkonen back rather than choose Hulkenberg was Stefano Dꦯomenicali, who🎶 is now the F1 CEO.

Hulkenberg was a💟sked by if 🌱he has ever asked Domenicali for his reasoning.

"Not yet," he claimed.

"Because he still says, 'Not yet, come later.'"

Will Hulkenberg ever receive answers?

ꦓ"I don't know, I🌳 don't have a crystal ball," he said.

Hulke𓄧nberg has previously claimed that being too tall cost h﷽im a high-profile F1 team move.

"I've never had an answer where [teams] said, 'Sor🤡ry, no – we turned you down b🅘ecause you're too tall'," the 6ft driver previously told . 

"Probably they wouldn't tellও me straigh🅠t to my face.

"But I'm pretty sure that it has, yeah, hindered th♔e odd opportunity and occasion to jump to a top car.

"Packaging issues, less space, ꦉmore weight, which is not the right way arou𒅌nd in this business."

Hulkenberg, now a veteran at 37, h♈as fina♈lly landed a hugely exciting move.

Although Sauber (as they will continue to be called next year) have a lot to prove on-🎀track, the backing they will receive from Audi make it a project to kee🐼p an eye on.
